Disaster strikes for Joy, and Ben fears he has overshared.
Ben apologises again to Zainab for last night’s takeaway incident. Zainab brushes it off – Ben should stop saying sorry all the time. Later Ben tries to track down Azra. He tells Zainab he’s worried he might have got something wrong at work, oversharing his own mental health experience with a patient. Zainab recommends he doesn’t beat himself up, but takes a step back. He did what he thought was right at the time, and no-one’s been harmed. Ben thanks her for her wise words.
Vince continues his campaign to move in to Lower Loxley. Contrary to Elizabeth’s claim that the private quarters are small, he reckons there’s tons of room. Elizabeth counters good naturedly that she thought they’d resolved this. Vince accepts it and they change the subject. Elizabeth remarks she thinks Joy sounds a bit low – she’s meeting her later for tea. As they banter contentedly Elizabeth admits to Vince that she loves him. Things are pretty near perfect right now and she doesn’t want to spoil it. To cheer him up she presents Vince with the gift of a signet ring she’d been saving for their anniversary. She’s very committed to him. Vince is delighted with it. Later, pleased for Elizabeth and Vince, Joy admits that she and Mick are struggling a bit. Having Rochelle around has changed the dynamic. But as Joy starts to open up her phone rings. The roof at the Felpersham panto venue has virtually collapsed. The show’s off. Joy despairs – everything she does turns to disaster, and Elizabeth doesn’t know the half of it.
